The Supreme Court will hear arguments early next month in a major environment case concerning the Clean Water Act.

Sixty craft breweries told the justices in a brief that weakening the federal regulation could damage their businesses.

"Our industry is so focused on local, local, local," White said recently from the taproom of Zed's Beer, the business she co-founded in 2015. "But really, we are part of the bigger dynamic. It does impact us. What they decide to do impacts all of us.
